Eating in Daroca

The city of Daroca presents a high quality gastronomy strongly linked to the river Jiloca. The orchards located nearby the river are very rich in vegelables and fruit trees, products that are very present in almost every dish of Daroca. Some recipes are the green beans, borrajas and vegetable stews to warm up the cold days. From the river the locals also get fresh trouts that can be cooked with ham. Regarding meat, the roasted ternasco and the embutidos that are elaborated after the matanza with pork meat are the pillars of its creations. In the locality they also prepare traditionally some flour cakes (tortas de harina) than tend to be filled with sardines and red peper or egg and sausages.

All these autoctone dishes can be accompanied by some wines such as the Wine with D.O Calatayud. The confectionery is also very present when eating in Daroca. We recommend trying the moscatelicos that are cakes with moscatel.
